Perhaps reading comprehension is not well established here. I stated you cannot compare a working class gun with a best of any manufacturer. Nuff said.
If you simply compare quality of manufacturing, you usually run into the opinion problem. Personal preference also enters. I prefer light guns. That usually means smaller gauges when it comes to American guns. Parker did make a variety of light 12's which had to convince many to prefer that maker. I don't believe Colt made light guns and only 12 & 10 were made. But their quality was exceptional. Only made in Damascus, but it was as strong as fluid steel until the 1930's when the Superposed and 21 came along.
As far as working guns are concerned, I don't believe the quality of the German Lindner has ever been matched. I believe the actions were by Sauer but the finish is all Lindner. They even left strengthenings of thin walls of wood other manufacturers simply cut out. Mine is a featherweight 12. No better in my mind.
